THE I.OI%IDpN, JOURNALS. DAILY 'EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. JULY 7, 1826. [Tut Tiatus.], The return of :revenue for the two last years, and last quarters Of each, are presented as usual ; and, as we pmlieted, and as ~,we shall :crow shotv, adroitneiti has he en Used to blink the real deficiency, However, the accounts' preSent . on the face of them a falling off in the : Year of, above two millions and a quarter ; and in the last three-months of nearly half a million. „Before we . proCced to .how that the, last is a somewhat' fidlacious account, and that matters would stand 'hike ateuratclyas we have previously-de scribed them, we would - ,repel a foOlish insinuation that we have a wish to cleciY the financial resources of the country !

If in.. this attempt we err;we'are not only open to conviction, but shall be most prom it and for Ward in correcting onr error ; the day in which it was committed would be oue of great atigietV it was rectified ; and we require to he . belieyed,no - farther than as otriestatements . appeitit to be conSentaneints truth, and carry couvietiou.n entering.upOn a, 'brief examination .Of Treasury account,- it becomes,„disirable,, to reconeile...eertain discrepancies with it, which existed only, a few days' before, and which got into :eiretilation from quarters so respectable that it was impossible Wholly to doubt their authenticity. It wits.naiierted, for instance, in this paper, only:on Wednesday last, that the defici ency on - the quarter's revenue wis 1,200,0001.; but the actualdefieleney,. Stated the Official i.iceoutit, is nn1i,00.;2051. We can affirm, however, . that since the Ism 'instant there has been paid to Cievernment, by the East India Company, 700,0001. in one sum, On account of the duties on tea';, and this' alone will ex plain the sudden Manner in which the deficiency ; has been reduced, and justify in. the main the accuracy of the statement which we published. Whether that large sum belcings fairly or not to the last quarter, it is of course impossible'tO akertain, but the peculiar time at which it was paid in,,...andits,..enormous amount, will create the sitspichan that it doeS not t and that it hag been called for,' though an anticipation of future resources, to prevent the alarm which ‘vutild be felt by the putilic 4 so seriouaa defalcation in the revenue as would 'otherwise have appeared. Referring to the official account Its published, The Most remarkable/por tion of ;t is the, deficiency of the' duty on stamps, which along amounts to 20;,14-§i.

So far it would' he the policy of England a favour her power and independence. If, on the .other hand, the in of Greece should weaken the:rill4, atic(poable the It ie,sians to obtain' tAttes , non 'of any eonsiderable pat ,ir their territOrien. - we should be deprived of ail ancient and faithful ally, anti , ilioubl, by bwoutipg the cause of Greeks, pave the wily for the march of the Russians to ou.r...4rit. India tti•ritories-a march which, we ,arc %lite convinced, dley have often had in J view. It :seems a strange po- , • it ion, in'which England, a Christian: country; ikplaced wide regard to Turkey and Creece, Wijind it'otir interest to continue the :illie.''i Of the uths, and to uphold' the dotaittic4i ofitpeopkl i Ann we call infidels, in .who retaliate o n us by codling us Christian dogs--: it people whom We are taught from infancy:to regard as barbarians. Antivstliy tti the Turks is, as the Judges say, part and 'VARA of cane education, and , we eVO4I cent to imbibe a hatted' of. the name from the 1 . 44' nunnentii of our existence. The , `Parka, on the other hand, allow, Ito love to be lost, for they ha: , ; cordially hold Christiani in abliortence". They seldom eat or drink with tei----they :eldottt or never invite. us into their houses- 7 ,0r associate with U', Olt art equal footing. Consequently we know little or nothing of them as a moral or immoral people, in a social point of view. . Almost all we know of them is learned at their coffee-houses; where they pass intuit ' ortheir time in ii . half-torpid . state.' ..in smoking or in dulging in the, light drinks of the country. Such knowledge of a nation can only be very Superficial. What, for instance, would be thought, of a foreigner who sltould came to England, and draw the ch arac t er of the people from the scenes he might witness, n.eof fee-romns or pot-honaea? and yet we have little better means of knowing 'the real character .6f ilie:rtirks. In the few instances, however, in whieli •we can f a i r ly judge of them, their character is quite unexceptiouable.. As merchants, they are said to be, highly htmourable, 'and not excelled iii that : respect by any people in the world. The Greeks, on. the contrary, are it e.tibbillg, deceithil, disagreeable people, in, all their corniner ciai dealings.'('his .certandy forms a singular ,eon trail between the two nations, and the pees with which we regard them is no,less singular. ' From education and religion. we are taught to hate the Turks, look :upon them as slaves ',and . barbarians, and hardly allow them the ' feeling*. of humanity. The. Greeks we , are taught' •to hold in utmost veneration.. But such strange creatures does education make of mankind. . A better-. acquaintance with. the Turks may make on the :minds of. the English, perhaps, a change ; and we should be happy to find , that more frequent intercourse should lead us to form 'a mdre'fa vourable opinion of - the Greeks. Their bravery is beyond all question ; their patriotism,is More .doubtful. Their Chiefs have Constantly been i quarrelling about petty distinctions, while they ought to have beerrfiqht; 'mg as one man for the liberty of the country.. 1 hey have . been scrambling for shares of the'maney sent from England, rather. to Serve their, own = private interests than to furthet the cause . in which they are engaged.' Lord 43yron's last moments-were embittered by their Sordid 'and contentious behaviour. .

It is of very great importance to the public, not only, that money should be spent, if possible, in the country, but that it Should be spent in the most useful manner; and , every' shilling that goes to the' support Of mere lux ury,whether derived frOm the national or private revenue, Is doubly detrimental e) the country, by wasting the indney'itsell in the first place, and in the second place, by wasting the labour em ployed in consequenceof it..
